*6* SUPER SPECIAL on Dallas Stars.

The Western Conference leading Dallas Stars will be looking to end a nasty three-game skid when they host the Winnipeg Jets Thursday night. Each of those losses came on the road though, and I expect the Stars to bounce back with a win and book a fifth consecutive win home at American Airlines Center tonight.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Situational - The Stars lost 6-2 at Madison Square Garden two days ago, but they're 12-2 in their last 14 games following a loss of three or more goals and a fantastic 16-4 in their own building this season. The Jets have lost eight of their last nine when visiting a team with a home winning % of greater than .600.

2. Winnipeg's Schedule - The Jets will close out a five-game road-trip tonight after being on the road since Dec. 31 and they're probably more interested in catching the next plane back to Winnipeg than making this a close game.

3. X-Factor - Dallas Jamie Benn has four goals with four assists in his last four games in front of the home-town crowd.

Selection: This is a play on the Dallas Stars (6*)
